How to Deal With a Hyperactive Child

Hyperactive children are difficult to deal with. However, if you make minor changes in your
and your child’s routine, it is not difficult to change your hyperactive child
into a balanced and wise child. Read on to find interesting parenting tips for
dealing with hyperactive child.

Dealing with hyperactive
children is a challenging task for both parents and teachers. They need to
be doing something or the other always. Some children are hyperactive by nature
while some become because of the lack of attention that they wish to get from
their parents. It has been observed that many children behave in a hyperactive
manner just to draw attention
of their parents and people around. Though these children are difficult to
handle, it is not impossible for parents and teachers to manage them
successfully.

Tips for Dealing with
Hyperactive Child

Here are some tips for parents to deal with hyperactive
children.

Help your Child to be
Flexible

Teach your child to be disciplined and at the same time pay
attention to giving him some flexibility too. Make sure he knows when you mean discipline,
it is purely business. Do not make your relationship with your child centered
to instructions and orders. Spend some time with your child and it is better
you take him outdoors so that he has full set of enjoyment and he can also make
use of his energy level.

Divert Child’s
Attention in Right Direction

Impose positive thoughts and activities in
your child. Help him pay attention to creativity and get engaged in activities
that can divert his energy and help him stay focused and concentrate well in
his activities. Remember you need to channelise the energy of your child and
take it to the right direction.

Try Alternative
Healing Methods

Engage your child in yoga
and meditation. This helps the child calm down and concentrate on positive
activities more and he will gradually get calmed down. Though even hyperactive
children get calmed down eventually, but if you pay attention to engaging him
in positive activities, it will help him focus in the right direction in life.

Take your child for a walk regularly. Researches have proved
that walking regularly increases concentrating power in people and helps the
child get focused in life too.

Teach deep breathing
exercises to your child. Teach your child to take deep breaths when he
feels aggressiveness and anger in him. If you are able to teach this to your
child, your child will not hit or hurt any other child or himself on a matter of
impulse or reaction. Deep breathing also helps provide more oxygen to the brain
and this in turn calms down the child.

Engage Child in
Household Chores

Fix sometime either daily or on weekends and engage your
entire family in some creative activity. It can be cleaning each one’s room or
cabinet or working in the garden. If the entire family is engaged in the
cleaning activity, everyone will enjoy and you will have your work done and at
the same time you will be able to engage your child in fruitful work as well.

Encourage Reading

Send
your child to chill out and persuade him to read something interesting. Make
sure you provide the reading material that is of his interest and let him
choose the book that he wants to read at that moment.

Remember, when you are dealing with a hyperactive child you
need to be patient and stay calm yourself first. If you spend quality time with
your child, it will help you have a good and healthy relationship with your
child. Concentrate on long term bonding and communicate well with him no matter
if he is small. Just keep in mind that exercise helps focus well and utilize
the nervous energy in the right way. Spend time in which all of you enjoy the
most.
